My turn to vent

Mmmmm smarties and Starbucks seem to make everything better for me. And decorating for Christmas, though that's really only a seasonal perk!

I know how frustrating it is. I feel sometimes like we cook nice and healthy meals for the kids, keep our house clean while at the same time dirtying it with activities, sensory bins, and messy play, wipe noses and change diapers (without getting sick, mind you), with a smile on our face. And when you're proud at the end of the day for managing to do all of those things, someone feels the need to question something.

This grandma sounds like a real bummer though. Would it help to maybe mention her negativity to the parents?
